. A representsl a 'rectangular box, of suitable dimensions, the bottom-of which forms an inclined plane, B,

,along the front side, as shown in iig. 1.

' 'A suitable distance from tlie'i'ont side, and near the'- upper edge ofthe end-'pieces'of the lbox A, is pivoted' or hinged a perforated dash-board, O. which hangs down to near theinclinedplane B.

The l'lower edge of the perforated dash-b0ard 0 rests spimli'sprnga- D- D, ;whioh are `secured to -Atthe ed es .of ,th end-pieces of the box A. are

This shaft is also provided with a balance-wheel, N,

and crank O, by the'means of which the, machine is operated.

, when thffclothesntowbe washed are placedvin the box, between the beater and the dash-board, and tnecrank O turned, it will be seen that the beater H carries the clothes up the inclined plane B,-againstthe yielding dashboard O, and, as soon as the beater moves backward, the dash-board, operated upon by the springs D D, carries the clothes back again down the inclinedl plane.

'I' am aware that the several devices shown and described herein, when taken separately, are, of themselves, not new; My invention consists more particularly in the, general arrangement and combination of the parts. Q
